Thanks, I didn't know that. A small consolation at least.

 

I was surprised to see this sale for you, Marb, because I've assumed you follow the forum. A number of us had this experience with the same website and chose to opt out of Novel Use as a result. Unfortunately, the only time you can opt out is in April so it is a long wait for you. I was OK with the idea of a novel use but a travel website is not novel and I had two of my images go to them.

DBH41b is some bread rolls🤨

 

I was actually referring to the Alamy reference B51CAR

Having the number plate as Alamy ref would have been extraordinary indeed.

Or choose to remain in because sales will increase your ranking.

 

I would be careful with that statement. As mentioned before, NU used to be excluded from ranking when the scheme came up, precisely because of low prices.

These days, nobody knows.

I don't know if this is a problem for you, but I should have a careful look at the licence- Wikipedia seem to think it's under a CC licence and it's not credited.

I was surprised to read about the sale to Wikipedia, as I understood all images used there had to be CC,. then realised that that was based on info which was several years old.

But maybe nothing has changed. Interesting though, I've looked up articles on personalities which had no pics and assumed that's because there were no CC pics of the person available. I didn't think they'd licence pics for that reason.

 

However, this page is interesting. Further down, the file's metadata credits the copyright to Ian Davidson/Alamy, and there's also a mention in a red outlined box that:

"This media file is missing evidence of permission. It may have an author and a source, but there is no proof that the author agreed to license the file under the given license. Please provide evidence of permission by either providing a link to a site with an explicit release under a free license or by sending a declaration of consent to permissions-commons@wikimedia.org. This also applies if you are the author yourself.

Unless this issue is resolved, the file will be deleted seven days after this tag was added and the uploader was notified (8 July 2019)."

https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Sir_Simon_Woolley.jpg#filelinks

But immediately below that it credits Sir Simon himself as the author or the work.

I guess you should contact Alamy first about this: they shouldn't really be licensing images to Wikipedia when most users assume (on history) that photos there are CC.

I have been paid for this.  I do not know if by Wikipedia or by the OBV organisation (that Sir Simon is Chairman) that then passed it to them.  The organisation has told me they will get Wikipedia to change the incorrect credit.  As long as I have been paid.....
